CD 16 and counting

It's turned cold. We've plasticked the windows and turned on the heat. And all I can think about is eating, eating, eating.

And getting pregnant. I could be pregnant through the winter. That seems the way it ought to be, keeping the baby warm in big sweaters and in big me. Everything soft and quiet outside, muffled in snow and wind. Toasty and snuggly inside, cooking pots of soup and eating crusty bread.

Again with the eating.

It's Cycle Day 16. I don't think I'm anywhere near ovulating. I really don't know what to expect this time, but I'm hoping not to have another 43 day cycle. That was wearing.

But we have plans this time, with vitamins and quitting caffeine. And using real egg whites, which makes me a little nervous but I have a strong sense that that's been the problem, not having enough cervical fluid. Let's fix that right up.

Long weekend to myself. My husband's working all day today, all night, and most of tomorrow. I see cleaning, groceries, rented dvd's and a Vanity Fair in my future.
